Localization-delocalization transition in a presence of correlated disorder: The random dimer model

The one dimensional dimer model is investigated and the localization length calculated exactly. The presence of delocalized states at $E_c = \epsilon_{a,b}$oftwopossiblevaluesofthechemicalpotentialincaseof$\mid\epsilon_a-\epsilon_b\mid \leq 2 $ is confirmed and the corresponding indices of the localization length were calculated. The singular integral equation connecting the density of states with the inverse localization length is solved and the analytic expression for the density of states compared with the numerical calculations.
